Drea’s Sparkling Cuvée Rosé

Drea’s single vineyard, small batch, low intervention wines are crafted in Niagara-on-the-Lake by Andrea Kaiser, daughter of world renowned winemaker Karl J. Kaiser who co-founded Inniskillin Wines. As a visionary pioneer, his contributions to modern Canadian winemaking cannot be understated. She closely follows the tenants of her father’s winemaking philosophies with a focus on natural fruit flavours and aromas, making bone dry wines that are well balanced with a bright acidity. The wines in her collection are an expression of his legacy and are dedicated to her father, who affec7onately called her ‘Drea’. Since being released, her wines have taken the wine world by storm, receiving International Critical Acclaim including her Sauvignon Blanc being marked as distinguished by renowned wine writer Jancis Robinson. Her wines are regularly recognized at the International Wine Challenge and TEXSOM and served around the world including the Canadian Embassies in London, NYC and Washington D.C. Most recently her Rosato was named as one of the top Canadian Rosés by Decanter Magazine and her Dornfelder was listed at one of Canada’s first Michelin Star Restaurants. "Life is even better with pink bubbles…but they better be brut! My father was always up for the challenge of growing and making Pinot Noir the ‘heartbreak’ grape because the elegance and depth of this varietal is unmatched by any other. These characteristics inspired me craft my first sparkling rosé from this classic variety. This wine was made by the charmat method and only spent only one month on the lees to ensure the fruit would come first in this wine. Notes of cherry, cotton candy, and violets on the nose and, of course, bone dry with a bright acidity. Match with shrimp or crab cocktail, and all things salmon! Think cold poached salmon with aioli, salmon sushi and smoked salmon with crème fraîche.”
